Youth & Family Ministry
Most of a child's faith development happens within the day to day life of their family. We want to provide experiences and resources for families to grow together in their faith, and to use in their own home. Below you will find a few of the opportunities that happen throughout the year.
Koinonia
Koinonia means community. On the 2nd Sunday of each month during the school year all families with school age children are invited to come for an evening of dinner, programming, and fun. There are groups for kids from kindergarten through high school, and there is even a parents class too! Nursery care is available for children younger than kindergarten.
Youth Events
The TSLC youth group gathers periodically for events like retreats, lock-ins, campfires, and the 30-hour famine. Those events are publicized in the church newsletter and announcements. Our youth also attend Synod events for High School (Winterfest) and Middle School (Alive) and participate in the Harrisburg Area Confirmation Camp. All of these events are intended to help the youth grow in their relationship with God, other youth, and caring adults.
Advent Event
Advent is a season of preparation, and we want to help people get ready. The Advent Event is a day for families to come and share a meal, fellowship, make crafts for the Advent and Christmas season and get the church ready for Advent. We close the evening with singing some of our favorite Christmas carols.
Holy Week Interactive worship and Easter Egg Hunt
This event is a meaningful morning that allows our youngest members to experience Holy Week in a kid-friendly way. We explore the story of Jesus on Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday at different fun stations. The morning ends with the traditional Easter egg hunt.
